Meet Us
What started as a dream 18 years ago inspired by the beautiful Mulligan,
a Havanese – and the model in the family,
has evolved into Adventure Dog Tales and is finally a reality.
Meet the Adventure Dogs and the humans who are helping to tell the stories.
Mary (Mom)
Founder • Dog Lover • Storyteller-in-Chief
Lifelong dog mom and the heart behind Adventure Dog Tales.
Adventure doesn’t look the same for every pup or person, but with every book, postcard, and pawprint on the map, I hope to spark curiosity, a love of travel, learning and trying new things, and remind everyone that every dog is an adventure dog — no matter where their paws take them.
Whether you’re here for the stories, the community, or the inspiration to create your own dog-friendly journey — welcome. You’re part of the adventure now!
Patrick (Dad)
Manager of Belly Rubs/Social Media & Engagement/Customer Service
Every great adventure needs a steady hand (and an expert belly-rubber). Patrick is the behind-the-scenes voice cheering on our community, answering questions, and making sure tails keep wagging — online and off.
He’s the friendly face behind many of our social posts and replies, the one making sure every message gets answered with care (and maybe a few paw and heart emojis). Whether he’s packing up postcards, chatting with fans, or giving Zaydn and Rosko their well-earned treats, Patrick helps keep the adventure running smoothly — one paw at a time.
Zaydn
West Highland Terrier • Big Sister • Trail Boss
Curious, calm, and just a little bit bossy (it’s called “westitude”), Zaydn is the heart and brains of the Adventure Dog Tales crew. With her nose to the wind and a map in her paw, she’s always ready to lead the way.
Whether she’s exploring a National Park or solving mysteries on the road, Zaydn keeps her little brother Rosko safe and on track… mostly.
She’s not a fan of cats, but she does love a good squirrel chase and a sunny spot to nap after a long day of adventures.
Rosko
Maltipoo • Little Brother • Lamb Chop Collector
Sweet, silly, and full of wonder, Rosko is the playful soul behind every tail-wagging adventure. Once shy from his early days in a puppy mill, he’s now living his best life—one trail, treat, and squeaky toy at a time.
Rosko follows his big sister Zaydn everywhere and always finds the fun in every moment. He’s the heart of the journey, the keeper of Lamb Chop, and a reminder that every dog deserves a second chance and a life full of love, laughter, and muddy paws.
